Is there a national holiday for the Jewish Holocaust? No. Why then should our flag be replaced with the Armenian flag for one day and all city offices close? Yep, this is the demand. It’s just one more group that thinks this nation must change to suit them, not them change to fit in here.
I don’t defend Turkey for doing anything wrong in 1915-17. If the facts bear out that they were the sole aggressors and there weren’t mutual hostilities, then Turkey should apologize. I don’t dispute that. However, we’re ninety years down the road since these events took place, and although we shouldn’t forget it, it’s idiotic to affront a nation that has held off against provocateurs going across the border onto it’s soil.
What would we do to Mexico if it were sending in armed insurgents to kill people by design? It’s bad enough that foreign nationals just show up here and abuse our system, but if there were an insurgency, I don’t think we’d sit by like Turkey has for the most part.
I’m just not buying into the official condemnation at this time. If it could wait for 90 years, it’s extremely il-advised to do it while our troops are on the ground in theater.
